"Thank you for bringing my Lance home." Daisy said as she let Sweets back into the house before rapping an arm around him.
"It's fine." Booth waved a hand. "I gotta go, Christine is waiting in the car."
"See you later, Booth, we are still having lunch together tomorrow, right?" Sweets asked, which was code for 'we are still getting the ring tomorrow, right?'
"Yeah." Booth nodded before walking off.
"Are you sure you want to go out tomorrow, baby?" Daisy asked, closing the door. "You still have a week of medical leave. You should be resting."
"So should you." Sweets smiled at her, poking her nose.
"I wasn't the one who got himself attacked." Daisy countered.
"And I'm not the one who is two weeks from her due date."
"Touche..."
"So, we agree. We should both lay down." Sweets smiled before kissing her forehead.
"Yes." Daisy grinned, nuzzling his neck softly. "Little Lance and I have missed having you to keep us warm."
"And I have missed playing little man the paino every night." Sweets said, leading her over to the bedroom.
"He's defently missed that." Daisy rubbed her belly. The two of them laid down softly on the bed. Sweets burrowed under the covers and snuggled into them.
"Ohhhh... this is so much better than the hospital beds." Sweets groaned happily into his pillow. Daisy smiled and joined him under the covers and cuddled up to him.
"I hope so." Daisy giggled, rapping her arms around him and giving him a kiss by his jawline.
"I missed this to." Sweets said, giving her a kiss before feeling the baby kick. "Wow, he is really getting strong."
"He is. He is very strong, like his Daddy." She gave him a kiss back.
"I'm tired." Sweets mumbled, his eyes fluttering shut. "I'm just gonna... take a nap.. For just a second..."
Daisy smiled and swipped a lock of hair from his face as he drifted to sleep. She gave him a kiss on his forehead before joining him in sweet dreams.

"I'll be back in a bit." Sweets said, pecking Daisy on the lips as he walked towards the door, where Booth was waiting.
"Hurry back." She smiled, placing a hand on her baby bump instinctively.
"We will." Booth said, closing the door.
"That was hasty."
"Well I'd like to get this over with." Booth said as they walked down the hallway. Soon enough they were at his car. "I still can't believe you didn't tell me she was pregnant." Booth said as they buckled in
"I wanted to wait intill you got out of jail and the whole conspiracy was rapped up, sue me." Sweets groaned, crossing his arms and leaning back in his seat.
"What were going to do if the conspericary had dragged out? Hope I wouldn't notice your tired eyes and the baby vomit on your shirt? Or what if I had been in jail longer? Would you just walk up with the little squirt and say 'Hey, me and Daisy had a baby, here he is!'"
"I think you might exagerating a little bit." Sweets said.
"I think I'm not." Booth said, gripping the steering wheel.
"Fine, I'm sorry, okay? I did think you needed to worry about me! You were in jail, Booth. Your life was in danger." Sweets said, running a hand through his hair.
"I... guess I see your piont." Booth sighed, shaking his head.
"Great, so can we just please move on? Maybe you can be happy for me even?"
"Yeah... Congrats, man. You are sure you want to do this? You want to propose to Daisy?" Booth asked, glancing from Sweets back to the road.
"Definetly." Sweets nodded.

"Okay, Sweets, just stay calm and pick a ring, don't get caught too much on the price this time." Booth said as they entered the jewelry store.
"I won't" Sweets said, feeling his heart beat speed up like the last time he was here, but different. Last time his heart was racing because he was nervious but this time it was because he was excited.
"Alright, here we are." Booth said as they stopped infront of the ring case.
"Hello, are you two looking for something?" A young woman smiled from behind the counter.
"Uh, hi, yes. I am looking for an engagement ring for my girlfriend." Sweets said, smiling softly.
"Lucky girl, I'll just get this case out." She said, taking out a thing of rings. "See anything you like?"
"That one." Sweets said, pointing to one of the rings. It was a medium size diamond set in white-gold.
"A nice little ring." The woman nodded.
"It's a little pricey, don't you think, Sweets?"
"A little but Daisy deserves the best, right? This is the best I can with my savings, especially after the surgery." Sweets said.
"I could help you pay for it-"
"No, Booth, I can do this. Do you think she'll like it?" Sweets said, taking a closer look at the ring.
"She'll love it, Sweets." Booth patted his shoulder.
"I'll take this one then." Sweets said and the woman nodded.
"I'll ring this up for you then." She said, walking off.
"You are really doing to do it this time, aren't you?"
"Yeah, Booth, I really am."
#########################################################################
"Hi, baby, how was lunch with Booth?" Daisy greeted him with a kiss.
"It was fine, a little uneventual but fine." Sweets lied, kissing her baby.
"Is he still upset about the baby?"
"No, I think he's cool with it now."
"Speaking of the baby, he is getting hungry. Could you maybe make us a sandwhich?"
"Of course." Sweets smiled before kissing her before heading into the kitchenette. She smiled at him as he left, completely unaware of the ring he had stashed away in his pocket.
##############################################################################
"How's the first day back?" Booth asked, walking into the break room.
"Good, what about you?" Sweets asked, sipping his coffee.
"I'm doing fine, still getting some dirty looks, though." Booth sighed as he went up to the coffee machine.
"Sorry, man."
"It's okay..." Booth shrugged. "You propose to Daisy yet?"
"No, not yet... I'm still coming up with a plan." Sweets sighed, shaking his head.
"You better plan fast, man, she due in what, a week?" Booth asked, pouring himself a coffee.
"Five days." Sweets said, looking to the ground.
"Damn, Sweets, she is gonna pop any time now."
"I know..." Sweets said.
"She could be in labor right now, man."
"You're not helping." Sweets glared at Booth. "How are you getting along with Aubrey?"
"I still don't like him." Booth grunted, sipping his coffee.
"Be nice to him, Booth." Sweets groaned. "He is going to be your partner here on the FBI side of things when I take off when the baby is born."
"Doesn't mean I have to like him."
"He's a good guy, Booth, you should trust him." Sweets said, sipping his coffee and walking away.
"Never!"
################################################################################
Sweets and Booth sat infront of the suspect, exchanging looks to pretend like they were communicating telepathicly. They were really gong to mess with this guy.
"Are either of you going to talk?" The guy asked nerviously, twiddling his thumbs.
"Hmmm... Nah, 'cause you see, we already got you for murder." Booth shrugged and the suspect's eyes widened.
"Murder? I didn't murder anyone!"
"Really, because here it says you have a history of assualt with the vitcim. Says here that she filed a restraining order against you after you smashed a beer bottle over her back." Sweets said before closing the file.
"That was only a week before she was murdered." Booth said.
"I know! I backed off her, man. I'm even- even getting into the program and stuff."
"Well you had acsess to the murder weapon." Booth said.
"So did Joe!"
"And who is that?"
"He's-" The man started before Sweets phone rang.
"Sorry." Sweets said before standing and answering the phone.
"Sweets!" Booth groaned and Sweets shushed him.
"It's Daisy." Sweets said before focusing on his phone. After a minute his eyes went wide. "I'll be right there!" Sweets squeaked before slamming his phone into his pocket and headed towards the door.
"Sweets, were are you doing?" Booth gapped.
"Daisy is in labor!"
"Labor-LABOR!" Booth's eyes widened before looking back to the suspect. "We aren't finished with you. I'll have some agents in here to finish questioning you." Booth said before running out the door. "Wait up, Sweets!"
